She has success but at what price? The year is 1930 and Alison Plantaine is a star. She is thirty, and in the full bloom of her stage career. But she is lonely, and for years no man had been able to compete with the pace and intensity of her life. Only when she visits Berlin does she find a passion to rival the theatre. She falls madly in love with Richard Lindemann, who opens her eyes to what is happening around her. He shows her the dangers that may befall a nation under the grip of the Nazi regime. As Alison becomes involved in the concerns of those she cares for she contemplates a world beyond the stage – a world that was moving faster and faster towards tragedy and war. An emotional historical saga about love from a much-loved novelist, perfect for fans of Rita Bradshaw and Margaret Dickinson.
